Last spring, TJ Kim, associate professor of industrial and interaction
design in the Patti and Rusty Rueff School of Visual and Performing
Arts, and his team visited elementary schools to show students the
capabilities of 3-D printing. The goal was to expose students to
technology-based art tools in order to spur minds to consider more
creative career possibilities at a young age. Kim is also an organizer
of DesignGoodNow, a global collaboration workshop that allows
college students around the world to design adaptive and assistive
devices for people with disabilities. In 2016, 18 product solutions
were developed in less than 24 hours. Photo by Trevor Mahlmann.
